The Alchemist Glasgow

This was a second visit to an Alchemist bar/restaurant and honestly the presentation and uniqueness of the drinks is reason enough to come here. They do drinks unlike anywhere else I've seen, whether it's the exploding bubbles, smokey cauldron, or getting the drink out of a mini bong or syringe, it's just such a good presentation and something you really won't find elsewhere. On top of that, the drinks are all really, really good! During this visit, we also got food, so can comment on that. I had the Curried Fish dish and it was very good and full of flavor. And, like the drinks, was presented really well. The curry sauce was amazing and the fish was perfectly prepared. My wife ordered the Panko Halloumi and my daughter ordered the Plant Burger and they both liked what they got. Our server, Louise, was very friendly, very helpful and our drinks and orders came out fairly quickly. Definitely worth a visit.

My partner and I went to the alchemist in Glasgow last night for food and drinks and I have to say the food was incredible. I had the chicken Caesar salad with a side of their truffle tater tots and my partner had the tempura fish & chips and he stated it was the best fish & chips!! The cocktails are incredible and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

An incredibly unique experience that is absolutely worth the price! While the cocktails are the main attraction due to their extravagant effects (foaming, dry ice, colour changing etc), there’s plenty of non alcoholic drinks with the same effects, and many of the cocktails have a note on the menu naming a non alcoholic equivalent. We ordered the French Kiss (which was met with a funny joke from the server) which had a fake rubber tongue and popping rocks, the Cosmic Conch which came with foaming and a light up ice cube, and the non alcoholic Rhubarb Pop which had a bubble on top, as well as the non alcoholic oyster shot which was unexpected and amazing! Our server was absolutely wonderful despite her 9 hour shift and went above and beyond to accommodate and recommend and was a genuine joy.

Loved the pure novelty of this place but the cocktails were very decent. I enjoyed watching the barman make the cocktails and tell you what he was doing. Plenty of space, clean toilets too.

thank you Rhona and team at Alchemist for a delightful dinner on the first day of my holiday. delicious food and tasty interesting drink. plus super friendly and knowledgeable service from Rhona who was so lovely and helped me pick a cocktail to try. I will definitely return.
